City break in Salzburg

Two-day rail city break from Switzerland to Salzburg, Austria

Illustration of City break in Salzburg

Railtour Suisse offers this two-day, one-night city break to Salzburg, the UNESCO World Heritage city in Austria associated with Mozart. The package includes a 2nd class return train journey, direct from Zurich with a change usually required from Bern, Basel or Geneva, and one night in a 4-star hotel, with no guide or organized excursions included. The operator describes Salzburg's Old Town coming into bloom in spring and summer, its museums and exhibitions, coffee houses, and walks across the city hills. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so this suits independent travelers who want to explore the Old Town and its culture at their own pace.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 1 of 4 point is a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
